We survived being bankrupt,we survived German bomb
Back in 1965 I bought the record "Yeah Yeah" by Georgie Fame and the blue flames, on one of the lyrics he appeared to be extolling the virtues of something called "galvering sloo" upon hearing the song all of my mates(about five) also heard georgie confirmed that he was indeed singing, "I want
you galvering sloo"( I have never found out what he was in fact singing) This incident sparked an interest in rock lyrics, and their misinterpretation by the listener. For a long time I though Axl Rose was singing "Welcome to the jungle, we have toast here every day" and later on in the song, "I want to watch you feed" Likewise Elton John on Saturday nights alright for fighting, "My Sister looks cute in her braces and boots, a haddock and peas in her hair"

Here's some more I have apparenty "Misheard over the years, add your own, we'll have a right old rave up.

We'll be farting in the streets, The Who, Won't get fooled again.

A pretty nurse is selling puppies from a tray, The Beatles, Penny Lane.

OH OH, my ears are alight! Desmond Decker, The Israelits(Spelling?)

Beelzebub has a Devil for a sideboard, Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody.

Sent me off to buy a yellow van, Bruce Springsteen, Born in the USA.

The future gleam is a sharpened sweet Sex Pistols, anarchy in the UK.

Smashmouth - All Star
The real lyrics were:
She was looking kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb
in the shape of an "L" on her forehead.

But I misheard them as:
She was looking kinda dumb with her finger in her bum
and the shape of a elf on her forehead.

Bryan Adams - Summer of 69
The real lyrics were:
Got my first real six string,
bought it at the five-and-dime.
Played it till my fingers bled.
It was the summer of 69.

But I misheard them as:
Got my first real sex dream,
I was 5 at the time.
Played it till my fingers bled.
It was the summer of 69.

REM - Losing My Religion
The real lyrics were:
That's me in the corner,
That's me in the spotlight.

But I misheard them as:
Let's pee in the corner,
Let's pee in the spotlight.

Canadian National Anthem
The real lyrics were:
Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee...

But I misheard them as:
Oh Canada, we stand on cars and freeze...

"Learn To Fly"

Misheard Lyrics:

I can't drive naked alone.

Original Lyrics:

I can't quite make it alone.
 
Billy Joel's My Life:

Original Lyrics - I never said I was a victim of circumstance

I heard - I never said I was the victim of sudden spaz

To be fair, I was about 6 years old at the time and don't think I even knew the word circumstance existed. Proud to say I knew what a spaz was though.
